You would certainly hope so. Experience suggests that it can't be taken for granted though.

Excellent signing. One the previous coach should have made.

Also great salary cap work if we have done it and can still keep Mcdonnell.

As Kosh says, you'd hope so. But never assume. It can make an ass out of u and me

My guess is that he will move on once he's proved his fitness (or not).

I'd like to keep him, until at least Biggs arrives, but understand that has salary cap implications.

Crookes is one I would look to move on.

The assumption was that the RFL wouldn't accept Carvell's name submitted in our squad unless we held his registration. Which as far as I know means the deal is done and a contract is in place. It is the RFL mind.

In fairness the deal was pretty much green-lighted when the RFL said they would have no problem registering him as an FC player and it would be up to the Bulls to take any action if they wanted to. But as you say, this is the RFL...
